Re: Just learning about our new KK
Thanks to talisker63 got some different and more lumpy charcoal today ready for tomorrow"s cook.
Fired it up for a trial today as per instructions offered by all. At first the charcoal went out so I relit in 2 spots. It climbed steadily and then over shot to 400F very quickly. I had the bottom vent fully open and the top open 1/2 turn.
I realised with no heat diffuser it was too hot for the thermometer so in it went and then the temp came down to a constant 300F. I also closed the vents to top 1/4 and the bottom about a credit card.
After 1 hour at 300F the outside temps were between 135F just under the top vent and 150 at handle level.
Guess I'll have to watch for that overshoot tomorrow morning
